Two places in the home that normally require some form of privacy are bedrooms and bathrooms. Whereas just about any type of treatment will work in bedrooms, bathrooms often have fixtures/layouts/conditions that need to be considered and addressed. Windows are placed above tubs, in water closets and in wet rooms (enclosed areas with both showers and tubs). And they normally face neighbors or roads and need some type of treatment. Not only for privacy but also to soften all the hard surfaces in the area.

Treatment #1: Durable Faux Wood Blinds & Shutters

Shutters and faux wood blinds are a great option for areas that are exposed to moisture and humidity. Because they are made of a composite material they resist warping and fading. They also allow for natural light while maintaining privacy since they can be adjusted as needed. Normally these types of treatments only come in a few shades of white which will match most trim paint.

Treatment #2: Versatile & Timeless Roman Shades

Roman shades are a classic choice that can add color, texture and style to a room. Motorized shades are an excellent choice for windows that are over tubs and can't be easily reached. Top-down/bottom-up shades work well in water closets as they allow the top half of the shade to be lowered to allow light in and the bottom half can remain down to provide privacy. And there are many choices of water resistant fabrics from which to choose.

Treatment #3: Helpful & Practical Cellular Shades

Cellular shades have been around for years. And there are many reasons why they are still popular. Narrow enough to be mounted inside windows, offering more insulation than most other types of treatments to keep rooms warm/cool, and filtering natural light while providing privacy. Operational systems include motorization, cordless, and top-down/bottom-up. They come in many different fabrics and work well under valances or faux shades.
